Do not deceive yourselves; God is not mocked: for whatever a man sows that shall he also reap. For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption, but he that sows in the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal life. (Galatians 6:7-8)We can't get away from the principle of reaping what we sow. If we sow good seed, we anticipate a great harvest. But if we sow weeds, we'll harvest no more than we sowed. The same is true spiritually and practically. If we want a reward in heaven, we must live for Christ. On the other hand, if we lie, cheat, swear, steal, get drunk, use drugs, or otherwise fulfill the lusts of the flesh, the reality is we'll pay the consequences both now and in eternity. No matter how much society tries to convince us otherwise, this law has proven to be true without fail. This is the bright truth held before us in this little book - if we sow good seed, we will reap a great harvest. While sowing and caring for the seed sown isn't without work, the promise of a great harvest is what keeps us going and what brings joy to our labors. Be assured that it is not in vain to spend much time pruning, weeding, and carefully watching over the garden of your heart and the hearts of those you love. No library descriptions found. |

The author, Dwight Moody, in his description for the book writes that we can’t get away from the principle of reaping what we sow, referencing GALATIANS 6:7. Regardless of your level of faith, if you read the bible from the beginning to the end, you’ll find this concept popping up time and time again with different words and a somewhat different messages, which when you get to the heart of the all messages, they are in essence saying the same thing.
And if you have any doubt in what I’m saying here, just look at:
2 CORINTHIANS 9:6 [New KJV]
“But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.”
PROVERBS 11:24 [New KJV]
“There is one who scatters, yet increases more; And there is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty.”
PROVERBS 28:27 [New KJV]
“He who gives to the poor will not lack, but he who hides his eyes will have many curses.”
And of course, there’s the classic MATTHEW 7:12 [New KJV]
“Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”
In communicating the message of this book, the author doesn’t just rely of scriptural verses, he also interjects secular/historical analogies. In end, this reviewer of Christian books is giving this book 5 STARS.
I obtained a free KINDLE download of this book through a recent FaceBook posting and the above has been my honest opinion. (
